Paph. callosum deflasking update

Callosum seedlings are out of flask for almost 5 months now:

Tray 1



Tray 2



I didn't loose any of them yet. Yellow leaves at the bottom came from flask, I was hoping they would fall off, but they still didn't.

Phalaenopsis I-Hsin George in bloom

I like when I-Hsin George bloooms. It has multiple spikes and usually produces several flowers at the time.



It took a short break after my unsuccessful attempt in propagation (pod dried out at the late stage but was kind of empty).

Paphiopedilum malipoense deflasked

I got flask in a package today from Orchid Inn USA.
Paphiopedilum malipoense:



Seedlings looked pretty crowded there and I could see yellow bottom leaves on some of them.



So I decided to deflask right away. As always, the most difficult part was to untangle the roots from the puck of black jelly.



There were about 30 plantlets in the flask. They filled two trays full:

New paphiopedilums

Relatively new actually. I got them in the beginning of August from the member of slippertalk forum.

Paphiopedilum Fanaticum:



- nice young plant with many healthy roots.

Paphiopedilum Fumi's Delight:



Multigrowth plant that previously bloomed. It came with a sheath on one growth but sheath promptly dried up, probably stressed from shipping and environment change.


Paphiopedilum Armeni White:



It is actually all one plant connected under medium with long runners. I decided to pot it into shallow tray so runners will have chance to come up easier. One of the growths has a bud starting.

Phalaenopsis violacea 'alba'

Here is an often-blooming plant:



It had a problem with rot that came on the edge of good leaf, so I had to cut a portion of that leaf, but it didn't affect the blooming pattern at all.
Fragrance is really nice...
